Thank you for this overview of the next steps in correctly constructing a whole figure. We often neglect the parts of our drawings that won't be seen by anyone, which can lead to a lot of frustration and sometimes even make us want to give up when we get to the level of light and shadow, where our drawing appears bumpy and deformed. I find your step-by-step explanations very helpful, and after years of struggling, I finally understood how to draw gestures. I will then resume the figure construction course, which I had already started but was unable to progress with because I lacked the fundamentals of gesture drawing. @Michael Hampton, will you also be teaching an anatomy course on Proko.com? That would be fantastic!

Here are my assignments. I found more difficult the shape method than the previous one, I feel that I am doing something wrong in the process, because the temptation to follow the contour of the figure haunted me while I was drawing, so I am not very confident that the result is good.

Here are my gestures. The front and walking poses still resulted stiffy, becaouse probably I relied too much on the reference.

Here are my gesture drawings. Watching Michael drawing them seems easy and, in a certain way, obvious to trace the lines that way, but when it was my turn, well it wasn't so easy. I struggled more with the front and back poses, that resulted very stiff and awkward. On the other hand, the gestures from imagination were easier than the gestures from reference and I felt more confident in tracing the lines.

Here is my assignment, I tried to be precise in draving the guide line, but the torso resulted a little bulky, probably due to the half-head mesure a bit large that what it would have been.

Here are my 10 1 minute and 10 5 minutes gestures. Unfortunately I'm very bad in drawing gestures, but I still wanted to participate in the challenge to put myself to the test and see what I could do.

Thanks Jeremy! I can't wait for Painting light 103 :-)

Finally the rabbit shows his true nature :D. I enjoyed doing those exercises and I have learnt a lot, mainly the letting go of being morbidly precise and wasting time on details, losing sight of the overall view. I still have a long way to go, but I am happy with the results.

Here is my blue hour version, any feedback is really appreciated
